Tip #1...hot glue the caps on the ornaments. This is seriously a step you don't want to skip. It doesn't take long and it will save you so much time later, when (if you don't glue them) the caps pop off and you start losing ornaments.
Tip #2...Really shape the hanger into a circle and make sure it's a flat circle. Mine was not shaped the best and it's seriously not easy to reshape it once you have all those ornaments on there!
You can follow the instructions from the inspiration post so there's no sense in me typing that all out. You're a smart cookie and can follow those instructions just as easily as I did. It is pretty cool how after you get more and more strung on the hanger the ornaments will start to bunch up and create that beautiful full look that you're wanting. It happens on it's own and it's like magic!
Add a bow and you have a totally cool, completely beautiful wreath that you made all on your own! You can use extra ornaments you have in your holiday decorations or hit a dollar store and buy some to use. I had extras because I used to put up several trees. I fished out all of the red and gold ones and went for it!
Don't forget my two tips...they'll help you have a beautiful end product!
Apparently our Elf of the Shelf - "Randolph" really liked the wreath also, because this is where we found him this morning!
Take some time today to get your craft on!
